One of our favorite aspects of @scienceathon is to witness the innovative work scientists are doing all across the globe! Today we came across this awesome image of what a #dayofscience can look like in Ecuador, courtesy of @snowcolleen 🌱 thanks for taking us along!

Today part of the @scienceathon team heard from @drmchatelain about the importance of creating an inclusive classroom experience in higher education. Given the importance of #scicomm, it really got us thinking...how do you foster an environment of inclusion in your courses, lab, etc? We would love to hear from you! . . . #TBT#dayofscience image from 2018 participant Jeannie Wilkening

Science-A-Thon is a five day celebration of science and scientists – from the lab to the field, from learning to teaching, from routine tasks to major discoveries! This year's event will take place October 14-18. . . . Participating scientists will share the ups and downs of a #dayofscience. Scientists will post photos on social media of their days including morning routines, work commutes, research instruments, class projects, and after-work fun. Yes, some scientists spend the day in white coats, but many also spend the day climbing mountains, in museums, on ships, working in teams, and much more! Find out more on our website (link in bio) ✨

Great news! @geosciencewomen is celebrating Women’s History Month with a Membership Drive (March 4-15). . . . Membership in ESWN is open to anyone and everyone who supports the mission -- supporting the scientists of today and welcoming the scientists of tomorrow. Membership is free!

This is me, and the bags under my eyes. I’m finishing my 8th year of college: juggling lab project management, manuscript writing, dissertation proposal dreaming, and several side hustles. So when I start to want to give up, I look around and see SO many women kicking ass and welp, I get back to it. This is why I’ve taken on a new project doing some social media consultation with an amazing campaign called @scienceathon 👩🏼‍💻 in this role I get to support raising awareness around the lack of diversity in the sciences and actually DO something about it. In honor of #internationalwomensday I dare you to support a young girl or woman looking to change the way we experience our world (I also wouldn’t mind if you followed along @scienceathon 😉) #womeninscience

If you want to be in the loop on our events this year, join our new mailing list! We’ll keep our broader community in the loop as scientists around the world prep and share their #dayofscience in October. Scroll to bottom of our website home page at scienceathon.org to sign up! Link in bio ⬆️

According to the National Science Foundation, women make up half of the college-educated workforce, but only 29% of the science and engineering workforce. Take a moment today to support #womeninscience or encourage a young girl who has the potential to change the world 🚀 #dayofscience

Ever wonder where those numbers and figures come from? @scienceathon participant Dr. Lorena Medina shared these photos last October, stating ‘2007-2010 MS Geology consisted of field work in a quarry along the Southern San Andreas Fault in Biskra Palms, CA at 100+ deg.’ 🔥 What does your field work look like?! Share below! #dayofscience

On Monday, it was International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The fields of Science and Mathematics are still hugely dominated by men. The uptake of these qualifications by female students is still much lower than that of male students. So here we have four women who contributed greatly to the Science and Mathematics, four women whose names should be known! Top Left: Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958). She worked in the field of Chemistry and is best known for her contribution to the understanding of DNA. Her work led to three men being awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Top Right: Jocelyn Bell Burnell (1943-Present). An astrophysicist, she was the first to discover radio pulsars. However, her male counterparts were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery - she was not recognised. Last year, she was awarded the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics LAST YEAR, but gave her prize money to help women, minority ethnic and refugee women to become physics researchers. Bottom Left: Dian Fossey (1932-1985). Dian was a Primatologise and conservationist, who was murdered in 1985. She is famous for her extensive study of gorillas in Rwanda during the 1960/70/80s. she strongly opposed poaching and some think her murder was linked to her conservation efforts. Bottom Right: Katherine Johnson (1918-Present). Katherine is an African-American Mathmetician who is known for her incredible work with NASA during the first manned spaceflights. She was famous for mastering incredibly complicated calculations of trajectories, launches and emergency returns. #jocelynbellburnell#katherinejohnson#rosalindfranklin#dianfossey#womeninscience#womeninstem#stem#science#internationdayofwomenandgirlsinscience#womenscienceday#feminist#feminism#strongwomen#powerfulwomen#bywomenforeveryone#abouttimes

Meet Superstar of STEM Alex Thomson! To read more about her achievements and what she's doing, take a look at the link in our bio! #womenscienceday#womeninstem#Repost@utscareers ・・・ "There is no such thing as failure when it comes to your career. If you can take each hurdle or tricky time as an opportunity to learn and develop, you’ll find that you can achieve almost anything. Try a new path out, ask for that internship, give something new a go, and be your own biggest advocate – the worst that will happen is you’ll develop some new skills and networks along the way." – Dr Alex Thomson, SoLS Subject Coordinator and Deep Green Biotech Hub Manager, #utsscience#HumansofUTS#MeetOurFaculty#createthefutureyou

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! How much does modern science owe to #EUWomen 🇪🇺? Marie Skłodowska-Curie was a Polish-born physicist, a chemist and a discoverer. This committed genius discovered polonium and radium along with her husband, and her research on radioactivity was central in the development of x-rays in surgery. Marie Skłodowska-Curie was the first woman to win a #NobelPrize, the first person to win it twice, and the only Nobel laureate in two different sciences. She was also the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne, and during World War I she drove ambulances with x-ray equipment to the front lines. Marie Skłodowska-Curie died in 1934 from leukaemia, caused by exposure to high-energy radiation from her investigations. Since 1996 we are honoured to offer grants in her name, having benefited over 100,000 researchers so far. #WomenScienceDay 👩🔬 #SCCAlbania

"Forget princess, I want to be an astrophysicist!" I was 8 years old when I told mum I wanted to study the stars... and I did not give up on my dreams, no matter how many people told me it would have been hard. At 24 years old, after I got my BSc in Astronomy I left my own country, moved to London and began studying exoplanets. After my MSc and my PhD I moved to Paris for my first (and not last ;) ) post-doc. I have been living abroad for 10 years now, chasing my dreams and not regretting once the choices I made! 🖖🏽 (and in photo I'm floating in the Milky Way with the ESA Gaia mission, ihihih) 👩🏼‍🚀 . .
